Instructions

  • Have ready the racks for an 18 quart Nesco. Remove the cooking well and pre-heat the Nesco base to 250 °F (121 °C).
  • Remove the ribs from their packaging, and rinse. Remove any extra skin or sinew.
  • Make the rub, set aside.
  • Put the bottom half of the Nesco rack in the cooking well with the sides pointing up. Pour the wine and water into the cookwell.
  • Do not remove the skins from the garlic, just chop it roughly and put it in the cooking well. Remove the skin, top and bottom from the onion. Put it in the cookwell, and use the rest of the onion for something else, like potato salad. Place the second rack on the first rack.
  • Generously put about three or four teaspoons of the rub on the bottom of the ribs, and rub it in, pressing lightly with your fingers. Turn it over and put it on the rack of the Nesco. Rub the remaining rub onto the top and sides of the ribs
  • Put the cooking well into the base, and cover. Cook for 2 hours or until the meat has separated from the bone.
  • Have ready a baking sheet lined with foil. Carefully remove the ribs from the Nesco and place on the cooking sheet. Using a pastry brush, brush the ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce.
  • Place under the broiler at high heat, and broil until the top is bubbling.

Notes

If you have the use of a barbecue, you could put the ribs on the barbecue instead of the broiler.
If you have another dry rub you like to use, please feel free. Taste the rub, and adjust ingredients until it is to your liking.
